Gate study material for civil engineering

Can you give me the syllabus of the Gate for civil engineering???

[Arvind Kumar]

GATE is the only exam in India which is considered for taking entrance in those colleges which rum ME or M.Tech courses. It is on the basis of GATE score that whether a student is eligible for giving admission or not.

Here is some list of books for preparing for gate for those who has done Engineering in civil Engineering.

TRENGTH of Materials, Theory of Structures by RAMMAMRUTHAM.
Soil Mechanics by V N S Murthy.
Survey by Aurora, SOM GHOSH.
Water Resources by S K GARG.
Transportation by JUSTO KHANNA.
Steel Design by KAZIMI ZINDAL for improving concepts and Practice Numerical from Negi.
RCC Design by Krishna Raja, PC Varghese.
Prestressed Concrete by Krishna Raju.
Reinforced Concrete by ASHOK k Jain
Railway Engineering by SUBHASH and SATYAPA
